If Homely Virtues Draw From Me A Tune Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDEFF| If homely virtues draw from me a tune | A |
| In happy jingle or a half sad croon | A |
| Or if the smoldering future should inspire | B |
| My hand to strike the seer's prophetic lyre | B |
| Or if injustice brutishness and wrong | C |
| Should make a blasting trumpet of my song | C |
| O God give beauty and strength truth to my words | D |
| Oh may they fall like sweetly cadenced chords | E |
| Or burn like beacon fires from out the dark | F |
| Or speed like arrows swift and sure to the mark | F |
